    Hello friends !
    I am using the SMC3 code with arduino one R3.
    with 12v power supply.
    but when I'm setting up the SMC3 with the power supply turned off everything works perfectly.
    But as soon as I turn on the power source of the motors the program SMC3 hangs and the adnino continues with the tx and Rx blinking, as if it were working but without any movement ..
    This also happens with Sim tools, everything works perfectly in the game, in a few seconds of the game the arduino stops responding and the Tx Rx goes out and the error in the Sim tools.
    all this happens after I turn on the source of the motors.
    Please, can anyone help me?

    Can you post photos of your wiring? It sounds like you may have a wiring issue that is causing voltage to go back into the R3

    Eu refiz toda a fiação que o problema continua.
    Eu testei todos os componentes e eles são bons.
    Suspeito que o problema vem da minha fonte de energia! A fonte deve estar causando ruído e fazendo com que o SMC3 e o mecanismo do jogo parem de responder.
    Eu coloquei uma fonte de alimentação de 24v para testar e tudo funcionou perfeitamente. Mas eu não posso usar essa fonte porque meus motores são 12v ..
    Como posso eliminar esse tipo de barulho? Vou tentar postar alguns vídeos para que você possa entender ..

    This second video is with the 24v source and how it works, but the motors are turned off to not burn.

    I use the Pololu VNH5019, so I am not as familiar with your connection. Based on the SMC3 program freezing though, have you tried swapping out the arduino? I had a bad board on my first setup and it did the same thing. Turned out there was a short that was messing with the com connection when I put power to it.

    My guess seems to be is interference between the source of the engines with the Arduino!
    All components are perfect. But a source I believe is not filtering the energy. It causes the arduino to collapse.

    [QUOTE = "Claudemir, post: 153514, membro: 7577"] Meu palpite parece ser uma interferência entre a origem dos motores com o Arduino!
    Todos os componentes são perfeitos. Mas uma fonte não está filtrando uma energia. [USER = 72] @yobuddy [/ USER]@RufusDufus

    Maybe draw a diagram of your wiring.
    We can't tell much from the vids.
    It sounds like a wiring problem to me buddy.

    The problem is in relation to the source! Because when I put in another source of 12v but weaker everything works well. Already when I place the strongest source of 12v the problem comes back immediately.

    This source I believe is leaking noise, interference between the source and the arduino!
